For years, Todd Snider has been one of the most beloved
country-folk singers in the United States, compared to Bob Dylan,
Tom Petty, John Prine, and dozens of others. He's become not only a
new-century Dylan but a modern-day Will Rogers, an everyman whose
intelligence, self-deprecation, experience, and sense of humor make
him a uniquely American character. In live performance, Snider's
monologues are cheered as much as his songs. But never before has
he told the whole story. Running the gamut from personal memoir to
shaggy-dog comedy to rueful memories of his troubles and triumphs
with drugs and alcohol to sharp-eyed observations from years on the
road, "I Never Met a Story I Didn't Like" is for fans of Snider's
music, but also for fans of America itself: the broad, wild country
that has produced figures of folk wisdom like Will Rogers, Mark
Twain, Ambrose Bierce, Tonya Harding, Garrison Keillor, and more.
There are storytellers and there are performers and there are
stand-up comedians. And then there's Todd Snider, who is all three
in one, and something else entirely.
